I have never ordered spokes from Woody, but I am certainly willing to give him a try. Does he have a webpage describing his custom spokes? I thought he only built wheels, because I can't find a webpage describing his custom spokes. Perhaps I haven't searched hard enough.

I had contacted Woody's when doing a build on a frankenbike a few years ago. I got the impression that ordering custom spoke sizes was a regular thing for them, though I didn't do a ton of research around them. They were suggested by folks on a KLR 650 forum so I went with them. I'll be happy to try Buchanan's this time. As long as the calculation comes out correctly and the price and product are fair, I suppose it's a toss up between the two.
